Herbert Smith Freehills ESG Tracker (SADC Edition)
There are so many ESG-related publications and developments that
it is hard to keep abreast of them all. For this reason, HSF
publishes a monthly tracker of ESG-related publications and
developments, with a primary focus on developments that may be of
most interest to or impact our clients in the Southern African
Development Community, be they corporates, asset managers or asset
owners.
If you have any ESG-related questions, please get in touch with
your usual contact at HSF who will be able to direct you as
appropriate.
This issue covers the period from 1 to 31 July 2023.
